It s with respect to Standardization of the Mechanical properties of Biomaterials.
Do you mean are there tables of bio-material properties?
The difficulty is that the raw material properties vary considerably, often by a factor of 3 or more. Properties can vary with rainfall, amount of sun, time of harvest and how the material is treated after harvesting. So standardising properties is quite difficult and accurate figures would require a long description of how the material was grown, where grown and how it was treated.
Hope this helps

The question is what kind of biomaterials You thinking of: biomaterials for polymer composite (wood-PE, for example), biomaterials for implants (tooth or bone), biomaterials such as human skin?
In my Question, by Biomaterials I mean the Biomaterials which undergo certain kind of mechanical loading like Tensile, Compressive, Bending, Shearing or Impact, causing some Stress in Biomaterials.
In other Engineering materials (like Steel, Brass & Bronze) these values of the mechanical properties are standardized. How it can be achieved with Biomaterials?
As studies are incomplete, anything that we do by way of standardization would become obsolete due to a fast pace of progress. A standard , if a voluntary consensus one by a small group of entities from the same nation, would make later comers comment and criticize. Initial RRT ( Round Robin Testing ) by interested groups and labs spread allover the world can improve reproduce-ability and subsequent standardization. Standardization should be an evolutionary process and not that of a group of industries desiring a common marker. As Bertrand Russel said ` Sin is Geographical'.
Bio material preparation for the various performance is R and D work It is a continious processes
Sorry Sir, still can't understand what you mean talking about biomaterials. Could You provide some example?
Here are some references that include wood, bamboo, spiders silk and human hair.
